No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

hanval

Hello ladies,

Two outs here:

BS Japanese Cherry Blossom puree body lotion WIBA? Yes!! This was a Christmas gift & really loved it. The lotion is so light and the scent lasts all day. Ordered a full size bottle on the website at the weekend
M&S mini pink nail varnish. This was an old one, had it years and not one of their better products and as it chipped badly after only a few hours I decided to ditch it.

Off to Blighty tomorrow so have packed 3(!!) empty toiletry bags to put all my puchases in :rotfl:

Hey everyone.:wave:
I have a problem with my hair at the moment. I always make sure that I rinse my hair well but still the left roots from the front of my hair to half way back look really greasy and feel sticky.:eek: The right side is perfectly fine. This has only started happening lately and it's happening no matter what shampoo I use. I spend so long rinsing my hair and making sure I get all the soap out so I don't know what the problem is.

Is it the way you style your hair do you think? Or do you notice yourself maybe smoothing down that part of your hair?

Expecting some INs are we?? :rotfl::rotfl: I'll save you a space on the naughty step

UU (well almost)
HIWTK soap - WIBA? Yes. This seemed to only last a week with the family. Maybe we just all washed our hands in that bathroom a lot more :rotfl:

IN
Boots trial gold shimmer perfume wax - not requested, it just turned up. Smells nice

Nice to see you Kaz

Andrea, that's always a worry for me when buying something 'sealed' like that. Will it work?? And more importantly to me personally, will it smell nice??

Sarah I hope your headache is better *hugs*

Alanis

Just a quickie and then need to catch up

Forgive me ladies for I have sinned... And this one's a doozie...

I needed some masking tape for the water marbling so went to my local 99p store...
Found LA Color NV's in there!! The art deco and just the normal ones!!

Walked out with 4 art deco (bue, black, pink and red) NV's and 4 normal ones (purple, pink, gold and this really nice metallicy browny/ivoryish colour) *guilt*
Budge up on the naughty step... I want to put a campbed and my xbox down! =[ Expect I'll be here a looooooong time!!

Although my nails look FAB! Did a black and gold water marbling design and now have pink nails with blue radiation signs on them =]

I'm not sure. I always blow dry it and direct the hair up through the roots so as to not make my hair flat. :undecided

Have you tried any of the John Frieda volume/thickening products? I like the shampoo, spray and mousse (not sticky). They're usually on a 2 for... offer and there's travel sizes if you don't want to commit to the full product! I'd be interested to know how the Andrew Collinge lotion works out, my hair needs all the volume it can get! I found the volume shampoo from that range to do nothing!

I think I'll be joining you all in September! I'm a student but I'm at my parent's house for August. I didn't think my stash was too huge but I managed to count 70 items before I left. (Just bathroom stuff, makeup is separate). I'd like to get it down to about 30, to allow for the odd back-up item when things are on offer. Also need to save money as I'll have a lot of travel expenses for uni this year as I'm on placement.

Thanks skyllo (and welcome :wave:)for the recommendation - don't think I have tried any of those styling products. I have been looking for an alternative since my HG Tigi product was discontinued a few months back .

I have some more IN's to report. I belated birthday prezzie from my mum and let me tell you all it was worth the wait :rotfl:

From QVC a five piece elemis collection



1 x S.O.S Emergency Cream (50ml) - formulated to provide the most effective solution for stressed or irritated skin
1 x Herbal Lavender Repair Mask (20ml) - gently cleanses, rebalances and purifies the skin
1 x Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser (50ml) - a light non-sticky texture that balances excess surface oils
1 x Balancing Lavender Toner (50ml) - removes any traces of cleanser providing deep cleansing to congested skin
1 x Skin Buff (20ml)

Really delighted with my gift as I love the range and the SOS emergency cream is a HG. I am off to dance on the naughty step :dance:

Another 2 UU's to report this month.

No7 Age Defence cleansing balm, this wasn't the right cleanser for me but at least it was a free product when joining the pharmacy. I don't think there is a single No7 product that I have liked!

A sample size bottle of Givenchy Absolutely irrestestible, I like all Givenchy's perfumes but I still have another 10 mini bottles to use up before thinking of buying any.

Keep posting your UU's I enjoy reading your reviews

seasideDreamer

A UU to report Lush Oatifix face mask through it will equal an IN as Ive now 5 pots to take back for a new one woohoo. Free stuff! Will even ask my sis to go in her lunch hour too!

Another 2 UU for me today yay!!!
s&g catch a wrinkle in time WIBA yes i love the smell of s&g stuff and it was very moisturising to my skin, im onto BS aloe day cream now.
An eye makeup remover that i had to trial WIBA definately yes if i find out what it is, as it took every remain on mascara off and you hardly had to use any. Im all out of eye remover now, anybody have any reconmendations?

Rachel.jones88,

For me the best eye makeup remover is Boots Essentials fragrance free lotion. Only £1.79 I think. I like this one because it leaves no oily residue and a 150 ml bottle lasts I am sure at least 6 months. My current one is nearly empty and if I remember I shall make a note of when I start using my next to see how long it lasts. Brilliant product though!

A few more post holiday UU to report.

Green People Aloe Vera shower gel. WIBA? Definately, it was lovely and fresh, kept skin soft and lasted ages.

LE Skin Toner. WNBA as finishing up my stash.

S&G Glad Hair Day. WNBA, hated the smell and couldn't wait to finish it.

I love this fragrance too though I haven't used this particular product. Have used the shower gel and body butter though.

I love the SOS cream as well. Is brilliant when I have a breakout.
